Eat DC tweeted earlier today that Trader Joe’s has filled a liquor license application for 2101 Wisconsin Avenue NW (map), the former Holiday Inn site that is being transformed into a 225-unit development from JBG. The Holiday Inn closed in late 2015, and JBG acquired the leasehold interest in the property from 2101 Wisconsin Associates LLP in June of last year.
